USArsenal While it was a little stupid of Trossard to do that, he had already started his kicking motion when the whistle blew (it seemed).. ANd he immediately looked back like 'oh fuck'...
no the yellow was for excessive force. Leo was going for the ball... Commentator said there was nothing much in it.
banduan if it's for that, it's just as BS. You don't send someone off for that, particularly when the first yellow was so soft (and probably not a booking).
Come on lads, by the letter of the law and all that.
We all know this is for the good of the game.
Pointless league. I'd rather Arsenal were in the Championship. Worst league in the world.
How the fuck is that delaying the fucking restart. They gonna get the fucking ball back and take the free kick. Not like they fucking taking a quick 1. Fuck off.
I am a big proponent of Hanlon’s razor, that most things can be attributed to incompetence rather than malice, but this is just corrupt as ficked. No two ways about it
USArsenal I just can't blame Trossard too much when earlier in this very game, nothing happened when Doku kicked it away. It's inconsistency - if you can't enforce it consistently, you can't punish some with a sending off.
banduan not Neville on Sky, he's calling him stupid. Sicario curse.
you can't play City a man down for 45 minutes. we will need to sub in all of White, Jorginho, Kiwior, Sterling and Jesus to have a chance.
It's a bullshit red card but I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that's absolutely stupid of Trossard. Everyone and his dogs know only Arsenal players are sent off for nonsense like that and then he goes and kicks the ball away. I am fuming at him, he has let the team down in my opinion.
Tactics it wasn't for kicking the ball according to my commentators.

It is retarded. Must be something off with our players. They keep making these dumb mistakes, knowing the refs are horrible.
Tactics same for me, yes these get treated differently across matches but I would hope right now Arsenal players with our experience would be instructed and make sure you don't even give them the option. Trossard does boot the ball after the whistle and it's a mistake in the current climate to give the ref that option.
Trossard is a moron , hear the whistle just stop , he knows he is on a yellow , he knows they fucked us with Rice. What a stupid fool
The ball was there to be won in the air and he contested hard with his body. How the fuck is it yellow
daredevil
He was booked for kicking the ball away.. It was stupid, but it was also bullshit and not delaying a restart, no City player was anywhere near the ball, so there was not going to be a quick restart.
Fucking corrupt. Unbelievable.
Haaland and Doku did worse and we get the yellow for that. Watch them say it was for a foul and not the kick. This is corrupt reffing
Coombs What was it for ?

They're now saying it's for kicking the ball away.

If true that’s even more stupid.
Most likely they’ve realised it’s a stupid fucking decision and changed it.
Refs always tips the balance of close decisions in favor of city. Has caused both us and liverpool several points.
I actually called this after Rice. Told a mate they’ll only give us yellows for a while “because we’ll never learn” and then eventually no one will ever get these sorts of yellows again and they’ll all forget.
just gotta defend with 10 for 45+ mins. we had to know going in that this thot ref who got flown out to abu dabi was down for some fuckery. as a club we can't be that naive that this would be on the up and up.
It's just pure corruption.
Tactics the foul
